Story
At the end of World War II, after dividing up the nation, the country that defeated Japan failed to hold rule of the island. As a result, many independent powers were established, fighting amongst each other and trying to seize control.
They developed a hatred of one another, leading the country into a never-ending spiral of a civil war. Snipers lurk around every corner. The good news is, they have what every soldier wants: some hot women to keep them company. Every group of solders has a den of lustful lovers. One by one, they have their way with the voluptuous beauties. The fighting still goes on around them, and Fukushima’s girl might not make it through the end of the war. Will she snap?
